North Parade

People come and people go

On the North Parade

Painting pictures of Paradise

At the penny arcade

But as the arcade penny claw

Comes a rapping to my door

On the North Parade

They've all gone away

On the North Parade

Deserted again

A lamp it flickers behind the blind

At the end of the day

A stranger looks out to the cove

From the passageway

But as the arcade penny claw

Comes a rapping to my door

On the North Parade

They've all gone away

On the North Parade

Deserted again

There's a boy that can't go home

He walks out here alone

On the North Parade

They've all gone away

On the North Parade

The world seems so strange
